Raised in Silicon Valley, on a cul-de-sac that used to be a plum orchard that used to be an army encampment on occupied Ramaytush land, Suzy Kopf currently lives and works in Baltimore, in a house on occupied Piscataway land that was once the right field of the second Oriole Stadium. She completed her MFA in Studio Art at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and holds a BFA in Fine Arts from Parsons and a BA in Art History from Eugene Lang College. She has attended numerous residency fellowships including Kala, The Studios at Mass MoCA, Playa and VCCA. She received a Design History Society Travel Grant as well as several research grants to support her art practice. She regularly leads workshops and lectures on professional development for artists. She teaches watercolor painting and museum studies at Johns Hopkins University and MICA. She is currently making work about her great-grandparents and the lasting implications of the midcentury American hyperreal.
